WHY NOT HIRE THE OLYMPIC JUDGES? THEY'RE PROBABLY MUCH CHEAPER
If you
wonder how the truth is systematically suppressed, here's yet another perfect
example. It was announced last week that the congressional investigation into the
American intelligence agency failures regarding the attacks of 9/11 (and further
investigation into CIA foreknowledge of the impending attacks) will be headed by
a former CIA official. Surprise, surprise! Former CIA Inspector General Britt
Snider, who retired just last year, is being asked to "investigate" his old
buddies in the CIA. It never ceases to amaze me how blatant they are with their
cover-ups and lies. And how easily we all swallow it. (Reuters)
MARK OF
THE BEAST, ROUND ONE
Applied Digital Solutions, the makers of the digital chip
which can be implanted into humans to be used for various purposes including
global tracking and universal identification (and which has been repeatedly
condemned as the 'Mark of the Beast' by those who worry about such things), is
just a few week's away from the approval it needs in order to begin implanting
the chip into a group of 50 volunteers to test the device. (AP)

BET HE
CAN'T KILL JUST ONCE
If you lost your shirt on the Super Bowl how about trying
to recoup some losses at a website which is taking bets on when O.J. Simpson will
kill again. "We all know it's going to happen," they explain, "why not make some
money off of it?" You can add your bet to the pot, which currently sits at
$1,846, then do your best impersonation of Kreskin by picking a date, and when
O.J. kills again, collect your cash. Easy money. (www.whenwillojkillagain.com)
MESSING WITH MOTHER AND FATHER NATURE
Two weeks ago I mentioned advances in
science that would enable a baby to be born without a father by using artificial
sperm. This week, we learn that women will also soon become obsolete, as
scientists at Cornell University's Centre for Reproductive Medicine and
Infertility are developing artificial wombs in which embryos can grow outside of
a woman's body. Doctors believe that an artifial womb capable of sustaining a
child for nine months will become reality within a few years. Just as the
artifical sperm techniques would enable lesbian couples to have babies, so would
the artifical womb, combined with cloning technology, allow gay men or women to
have offspring which carry their genes. (The Observer)
I READ IT ON THE
INTERNET SO IT MUST BE TRUE FACT OF THE WEEK
Scottish animal rights activists
have petitioned their government to officially change the name of the Loch Ness
Monster to the "Loch Ness Creature," because the word monster carries negative
connotations. (Oregonian)
SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS A PSYCHIATRIST
A psychiatrist in Kansas has claimed that one of his patients is Elvis Presley,
who is now 67 years old and goes by the name of his twin brother Jessie, who died
at birth. Elvis still lives and sings, says Dr. Donald Hinton, but no longer
shakes his hips due to arthritis. Not surprisingly, Hinton is now doing a
speaking tour about his famous patient, and is hawking a book he has co-written,
The Truth About Elvis Aaron Presley. (KMBC News Kansas)
IF WE COULD BE
FINED FOR BEING BASTARDS, WE'D ALL BE BROKE
New Zealand's national phone company
has launched an investigation after a businessman from Auckland received a bill
with an extra charge of $337.50, which had been levied as a "penalty for being an
arrogant bastard." (New Zealand Herald)
